Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Associated Procedures
Failure of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a common yet devastating complication due to inferior clinical outcomes associated with revision ACLR. Identifying the cause and associated risk factors for failure is the most important consideration during preoperative planning. Special attention to tunnel quality, concomitant injuries, and modifiable risk factors will help determine the optimal approach and staging for revision ACLR. Additional procedures including lateral extra-articular tenodesis and osteotomy may be considered for at-risk populations. The purpose of this review is to explore causes of ACL...

Precision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
In this publication of Clinics in Sports Medicine, the reader will find the most relevant topics in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and ACL reconstruction in 2023. Many world experts are part of this project, which covers a wide array of topics ranging from diagnosis and timing of decision making to treatment options for patients with ACL injury. We would like to thank Sahil Dadoo, MS and Zachary Herrman, MD for their valuable work in editing this fantastic special issue. In particular, the reader will find six articles on surgical techniques for ACL and associated procedures addressing the anteromedial and anterolateral ...

Surgical Techniques in Primary ACL Reconstruction
The ideal anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is an individualized anatomic approach aimed at restoring the native structure and function of the knee. Surgeons are tasked with difficult decisions during operative planning, including the optimal graft choice for the patient and appropriate anatomic tunnel placement. Special considerations should additionally be given for skeletally immature patients and those at high-risk for failure, including younger, active patients participating in pivoting sports. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the individualized approach to ACLR, including the nec...

Evaluation of Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Measurement of success following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) hinges on the appropriate use of high quality and meaningful outcome measures. We identified and categorized over 100 outcome measures for ACLR using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model. The ICF model is a useful framework to facilitate decisions about outcome selection and describe recovery following ACL injury. We outline key considerations when selecting outcome measures during study design (purpose, measurement properties, sample size, global assessment) or evaluating reported outcomes (measu...

Getting Athletes Back on the Field
This chapter provides an overview of the prevalence of clavicle fractures in athletes. The evaluation and management of clavicle fractures in athletes is summarized, including surgical considerations, rehabilitation protocols, and return to sport guidelines. In this population, high rates of union are observed, but careful timing of return to sport is paramount to optimize performance and prevent reinjury. (Source: Clinics in Sports Medicine)

Atraumatic Sternoclavicular Joint Instability
Sternoclavicular joint instability is a rare complaint in the orthopedic clinic, but patients can experience chronic pain and functional impacts. Causes of instability may be posttraumatic, infectious, autoimmune, degenerative, or secondary to generalized laxity. Conservative treatment is the initial approach to management and involves activity modification, physical therapy, oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and corticosteroid injections. Surgery is indicated when conservative treatment does not manage symptoms. Figure-of-eight reconstruction techniques provide greatest biomechanical strength but are associated w...

Dual- Versus Single-Plate Fixation of Clavicle Fractures
Clavicle fractures are a common injury resulting from a high-energy force, such as a fall onto the shoulder, motor vehicle accident, or sporting activity. Although some clavicle fractures may be treated nonoperatively, operative treatment results in higher union rates and faster return to activity. Here we discuss the operative treatment options for plating of clavicle fractures; specifically, a single plate placed either superiorly or anteriorly or two plates placed orthogonally. Because both techniques provide adequate stability, fracture and patient characteristics should guide the surgical decision making regarding sin...

Traumatic Sternoclavicular Dislocations in Athletes
Injuries to the sternoclavicular (SC) joint are rare, however, when they occur prompt recognition, evaluation, and treatment are crucial. SC joint injuries can occur following high-energy mechanisms such as motor vehicle collisions and contact sports. Injury to the SC joint can be evaluated with the use of plain radiographs as well as computed tomography. If an injury to the SC joint is suspected, injury to vital mediastinal structures must be evaluated. SC joint dislocations can be treated by either closed reduction or open reduction and stabilization. Many stabilization methods have been described including plate stabili...
